Freedom Places Responsibility Upon the Individual Some persons in this great land of ours, yes-and in this school of ours, are not very aware of the great reponsibility that FREE- DOM places upon the individual. If one considers what freedom really is, it becomes obvious that freedom means only that a person is free to do what he ought to do. He is also free to pay the penalty for wrong choices! As we come to the end of another year it is good to think back on the past-andyet to look ahead to the future. First, may I thank you for the cooperation you have given the school this year. The courteous way you treat your friends, your teachers, and visitors to our buildingg your loyalty to your schoolg your participation in the activities of the school-these are the things that are REALLY important to you and to communities in which you will reside! W'e should never forget that the citizens of Spo- kane, through tax sources, provide educa- tional opportunities for us that are unknown to most of the world. Wfhere else does free- dom abound? lflfhere else does the individual have such free choice in determining his own future? lNhere, oh where, but in America? Take time at the end of this year to say a word of appreciation-to parents, to friends, to teachers, to your community, to all who have given you assistance in developing yourself toward a worthwhile future. To those who will not be returning to North Central next year we give our kindest regards and send our best wishes, especially to GRADUATES who will be finding their way into new experiences in life. May you retain fond memories of your years at North Central, and may that which you have learned assist you in attaining those positive goals you have established. Warts. i Being a busy man, John P. Rodkey, Principal, scarcely takes time for photograph. 9
